11 Real Star Wars Locations You Must Visit

11. Djerba (Tunisia)

Featuring heavily in the first Star Wars adventure and five films in total, the stunning desert backdrop of Tunisia is almost a Star Wars character in its own right.

In 1976 the dusty, alien-like Avenue Abou El Kacem Chebbi doubled as the entrance to salubrious space port Mos Eisley, best known as the setting for the infamous "These aren't the droids you're looking for" quote from Obi-Wan Kenobi.

To the west of Djerba you'll find Obi-Wan Kenobi's house, a small storage house used by local fisherman and the Toshi station in Anchorhead which used to sell some decent power converters back in the day.

A few kilometres north is the small fishing port of Ajim where LucasArts modified the exterior of a small building as it became the entrance to the famous Mos Eisley cantina. Visually not much has changed since the early days and funnily enough, droids still aren't allowed in.

Due to age and bad weather, last year the Tunisian state launched a fundraising campaign to help restore some of the less-popular locations in the area including Oung Jmel which became Mos Espa, the boyhood home of Anakin Skywalker.
